The NYC Half is a half marathon put on in Manhattan by the New York Road Runners. First held as a summer race in 2006, the event moved to March in 2010, and now serves as an important tune-up race for elite runners preparing for the London or Boston Marathon in April. Among the race's winners have been current marathon world record holders Paula Radcliffe and Wilson Kipsang, former marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie, and double Olympic and world 5,000- and 10,000-meter champion Mo Farah. The course passes through Central Park and Times Square before finishing in lower Manhattan.
